Detailed Solution

Given, A=x, B=(2x-15)and C=(3x+21).
We know, by angle sum property, the sum of angles of a triangle is 180.Then,
A+B+C=180 x+(2x-15)+(3x+21)=180 6x+6=180 6x=180-6 6x=174 x=29 Therefore,
A=x=29 B=(2x-15)
B=2×29-15o
B=58-15
B=43
 C=(3x+21)
C=3×29+21
C=87+21
C=108
Thus, the values of x=29,A=29,B=43,C=108
Therefore, option 2 is correct.
